Hurricane Irma and Convention Scene

Hi, everyone.

In case you are unaware, Florida is home for myself and several other Convention Scene staff members. We now have Hurricane Irma bearing down on us this weekend, so I may be offline until Tuesday or later as I make preparations for the storm.

Stay safe out there, and we’ll see you on the other side (of the storm, that is).
